I was brought up with maids and hardly lifted a finger to do any work. OK, make that no work at all. This has caused me to be extremely LAZY. However, my in-laws are extremely HARD-WORKING people and tend to their huge garden every single day. Their garden is about 50,000 square feet – it can fit a life size soccer field within it. Can you imagine 2 old people above 75 years old still watering a million plants, climbing trees with a ladder to pluck fruits, plucking weeds and no, they do not have a gardener. At all. They do it all themselves. They have a maid, but she takes care of the house and the dog. But perhaps it is their hard work that keeps them alert and alive!

So. I am determined that my children know how to work. Being lazy is such a waste of time. I see it in me. I see it in my brothers. We definitely have the lazy genes. I already see it in T1! But I’m determined to change this laziness habit by making her do more work. More work as in pick up her books, take her dishes to the kitchen, set the table, help her sister, carry things, you name it.

In Kota Bharu, she was very happy to do work because it was fun. She helped Ama water some small plants……

.

She pulled weeds…………

.

She raked them……..

.

Amah and Kong-Kong’s garden is separated by a fence into the ‘other’ garden (or the orchard, where all the fruit trees and herbs and vegetables are). The fence also acts as a barrier to keep the dog at bay, especially when there are guests, like a big play pan…..or a big outdoor kennel. Lucky dog!

.

The truth of the matter is, nothing comes free in Kota Bharu. We all have to work for food……Booyah!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
